Hey Guys,
I'm starting a new auction keeper league and looking for some insight as to what works well what doesn't etc. A little background, I've been involved and commissioned re-draft IDP leagues for 10 years now, but looking for a new challenge and thought an auction keeper league would be a great start.
The particulars of my new league are as follows:
cheers,
I'm starting a new auction keeper league and looking for some insight as to what works well what doesn't etc. A little background, I've been involved and commissioned re-draft IDP leagues for 10 years now, but looking for a new challenge and thought an auction keeper league would be a great start.
The particulars of my new league are as follows:
- $300 allotted cash for bidding
- 13 Starters, 7 Bench (1 QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1 Flex, 1K, 1DL, 2LB, 2DB)
- 3 Taxi Squad (Rookies)
- 1 Head Coach (thought it would be a unique twist over team defences)
- You keep 3 players (2 offensive and 1 IDP) Plus you would be able to keep your 3 taxi squad players
- 12 Team league (Mgrs are all knowledgeable about football)
- Scoring I've already determined, and don't think it's pertinent to my real questions, but open to suggestions if you have any.
- How should I structure the league post draft? i.e. implement a Salary Cap ($300), No Cap?, Should I allow managers to sign their keepers to a contract extension (i.e. What ever their initial bid value was at the draft inflate by $5 for each season up to a max of 3 yrs?) Is $5 a good rule of thumb??
- I would also like to incorporate $100 (FAAB) for the season. How do you guys incorporate this in with a cap or no cap league? Has this worked for you in your leagues, what potentially are the pitt falls, etc?
- Thoughts on Tax Squads? Do you guys incorporate them? how are they managed in your league
- Lastly, what site(s) would you recommend to run such a league, I'm leaning towards myfantasyleague.com based upon my research but open to other suggestions.
cheers,
